This is my first edited image. I tried to make the view of Io over Jupiter from an icy landscape on Europa (the FOV is tiny). Besides the color, contrast, glow and illumination anhancement of the edited version I've included redish aurora-like glows in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, representing the Io-Jupiter electric current that indeed make strange plasma shows (but in the magnetic poles of Jupiter, not like in my picture).

Something I wanted to do for a while: the Daedalus going into hyperspace.

Initially I was to use just the first image, but then I decided to go with a different background. The hyperspace window was cropped from a Stargate Atlantis screenshot. I also played around with the blur options on the BC-304 and eventually settled on the radial blur to recreate the "acceleration stretching" effect always seen in the show while crossing a window.

Guys, are there any major differences between the current and the older versions of Adobe Photoshop which affect image effects, according to your experiences??? I'm asking coz I'm still using PS 2.0 but have insufficient savings to buy a newer version.

And here is it after about an hour in GIMP. I cant find the original moon picture, but I know I got it in SE too.This entire scene is inspired from a D&D campaign I was in a few years ago.Critique welcome!
